DHS School Health Services Nursing Grant
Over the past two years, Wisconsin school nurses have experienced direct impacts on their abilities to respond and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. To strengthen the school nurse and health service workforce and to begin addressing health inequities some students experience in their daily lives, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is providing $8.3 million in funding to support K-12 school health service staff throughout the state. This first-of-its-kind funding will support the hiring and retention of school nurses and health staff, as well as provide funding for school nurses to pursue wellness activities and professional development.
To distribute the funds to schools, DHS has partnered with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and the 12 regional Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESAs). CESA 6 is administering the funding for the 39 school districts in our service area.
